This automated workflow takes a static image and a textual prompt and transforms them into an animated video using the MiniMax Hailuo 02 model. It then uploads the generated video to YouTube and TikTok, and updates a Google Sheet with relevant links and metadata. Benefits of This Workflow Fully Automated Pipeline**: From prompt to video to social media publication — all without manual intervention. Scalable Content Creation**: Generate and distribute dozens of videos per hour with minimal human input. Cross-Platform Posting: Automatically pushes content to **YouTube and TikTok simultaneously. SEO Optimization**: Uses AI to generate catchy, keyword-rich video titles that improve visibility. Easy Integration**: Based on Google Sheets for input/output, making it accessible to non-technical users. Time-Efficient**: Batch-processing enabled with scheduled runs every few minutes. Customizable Duration**: Video duration can be adjusted (default is 6 seconds). How It Works Trigger & Data Fetching: The workflow starts either manually or via a scheduled trigger (e.g., every 5 minutes). It checks a Google Sheet for new entries where the "VIDEO" column is empty, indicating pending video generation tasks. Video Creation: For each entry, the workflow extracts the image URL and prompt from the Google Sheet. It sends these inputs to the MiniMax Hailuo 02 to generate a video. The API processes the image and prompt, optimizes the prompt, and creates a short video (default: 6 seconds). Status Monitoring: The workflow polls the API every 60 seconds to check if the video is COMPLETED. Once ready, it retrieves the video URL and uploads the file to Google Drive. YouTube & TikTok Upload: The video is sent to YouTube and TikTok via the Upload-Post.com API (The free plan allows uploads to all platforms except TikTok. To enable, upgrade to a paid plan.). A GPT-generated SEO-optimized title is created for the video. The Google Sheet is updated with the video URL and YouTube link. Set Up Steps Google Sheet Setup: Create a Google Sheet with columns: IMAGE (input image URL), PROMPT (video description), VIDEO (auto-filled), and YOUTUBE_URL (auto-filled). Link the sheet to the workflow using the Google Sheets node. API Keys: Obtain a fal.run API key (for MiniMax Hailuo) and configure the "Authorization" header in the "Create video" node. Get an Upload-Post.com API key (10 free uploads/month) and set it in the "Upload on YouTube/TikTok" nodes. Workflow Configuration: Replace YOUR_USERNAME in the Upload-Post nodes with your profile name (e.g., "test1"). Adjust the video duration (6 or 10 seconds) in the "Create video" node. Set the Schedule Trigger interval (e.g., 5 minutes) to automate checks for new tasks. Execution: Run the workflow manually or let the scheduler process new rows automatically. The system handles video generation, uploads, and Google Sheet updates end-to-end. Need help customizing? Contact me for consulting and support or add me on Linkedin.
